No Switch 2, no problem.
As promised, the latest Nintendo Direct took place on June 18th, and the focus was on games for the second half of the year. That’s a good thing — aside from a Luigi’s Mansion 2 remake and a game about speedrunning, the lineup of upcoming Switch titles had been very quiet.
Now that the Direct is over, we have a better picture of Nintendo’s next slate of games. There will be a lot to play while we wait for the Switch 2, including a Zelda-led adventure in September, a new Mario Party in October, new Mario & Luigi RPG in November, an HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns in January. Nintendo finally shared the first look at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but that game won’t come out until an unspecified time in 2025. There were some great third-party reveals as well, including a November release date for Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake and an Ace Attorney Investigations collection.
